Party hog roast near Garlinge
After a christening near Garlinge, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Whether it is milestone birthdays and garden parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
In a place like Garlinge, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in Garlinge, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
